Perhaps jail time as punishment/justice, then payback of the financial end of it: a return of the amount collected (to be put toward conservation) multiplied by the percentage of such crimes that get successfully prosecuted.
So if, say, 10% of all such suspected crimes are prosecuted, then the amount collected ($140k) times ten = $1.4M, and then add prosecution costs. This way, the public doesn't have to pay for crimes -- the criminals do.
